What actually goes into a draft
Every draft DraftKite writes is assembled from three distinct signals, not a single prompt. It reads the full thread so the reply answers the specific question that was asked, applies your writing voice, and grounds any claim in what it can actually verify. Those three inputs are the difference between a draft you send in one click and one you rewrite.
The whole thread, not just the last line
A long back-and-forth carries context the newest message assumes you remember — a quoted quote, a date already agreed, a question left open two replies ago. DraftKite reads the thread as a unit before drafting, so a two-line “yes, works for me” still lands against the right meeting, and a follow-up doesn't repeat an answer you already gave.
Your voice, inferred not configured
There is no personality slider to set. DraftKite samples your previously sent mail and infers how you actually write — your usual greeting and sign-off, sentence length, how formal you are, whether you reach for bullet points. Because the voice is learned rather than declared, the match tightens as it sees more of your sent mail: the first day is a good approximation, the first week is usually you.
Grounded, or honestly non-committal
If you have a knowledge base, DraftKite retrieves the passages relevant to the incoming email and the draft answers from those facts — your real prices, policies and product details — instead of guessing. Without a knowledge base it stays deliberately non-committal on anything it cannot verify: it leaves a placeholder or asks, rather than inventing a number or a delivery date under your name.
Why a person always approves
DraftKite writes drafts and never sends them — a deliberate design choice, not a missing feature. A language model can be fluent and wrong in the same sentence, and a mistaken price, date or commitment sent under your name is far costlier than a reply that takes a minute longer. The approval step is where your judgement enters: you catch the rare wrong detail, add the human touch a relationship needs, and stay accountable for everything that leaves your inbox.
No draft is ever sent automatically. Every reply waits as an ordinary draft in Gmail or Outlook until you read it and press send yourself.
Send, edit, or regenerate
Each draft gives you three moves. Send it as-is when it is right. Edit it inline — it is a normal Gmail or Outlook draft, so you can adjust a line in whichever client you already use, or in the DraftKite dashboard. Or discard it and let the next incoming mail produce a fresh one. The drafts you keep sending steadily need fewer edits as your sent-mail sample grows.
What the free trial covers
The trial runs for 7 days with no card required and includes up to 20 drafts and 2,000 classifications. The split is intentional: classifying and labelling mail is cheap, so the generous 2,000 lets you watch your whole inbox get sorted, while drafting is the expensive part, so 20 finished replies is enough to judge whether the tone and accuracy fit you. After the trial, paid plans start at $19 per month, each with its own included monthly draft quota.
